I That Republican Convent ion. The platform adopted by the Re- | publicans at Winslow is a peculiar ; declaration of principles. One of Its ' principles is the endorsement of K. IB. Posey for congress, but its silence ! about Post-v’s fruitless contest is excruciatingly painful. It endorses llovoy, but says nothing of the school {book taw or the election law. The g. jo. p. don’t like them. It ..protests against thedi-t riding ol Indiana, but says nothing about the disfranchised citizens in New York, nor about the intention of its parly leaders to march up, as congressmen, men who come from slates where bayonets will rule the elections. The platform charges that tlie insane hospital has been iu its tltzc in had condition aud says the Democrats revealed this tact. Of course the Democrats get no credit for the reforming of the institution. Oh! How “lliliii!” They endorse the anti trust bill. All right, who don’t? Out who passed the laws that made trusts so gigantic ? The platform demands “the most rigid economy in the management of our county affairs.” between the lines of this demand you cun read the cost of paint-1’ ing the court-jiiouse, the poor asylum, and many other like extravagances. It endorses tin: whole out-lit at Washington City, and the recent measures* that will increase our present taxes from $47 to $d2 on the bundled, as well as the Republican vote against she service pension bill- and against the free coinage of silver. To he brief, the plaIforn\is( not a platform of principles, but is an article hashed up for the occasion, aud means, “give me office, oh ye prosperous (?) taxpayers!” And it was a remarkable set of resolutions that were gotten up by the sanhedrin composed of a member from each of the nine townships in the county and headed by a gun who says lie is not in politics, none of whom ever examined a county record and therefore could not have known anything about the conditions they mention, and who found nothing to “resolve,'’ and who contented themselves by a single “whereas,” aud that about the editor of the Democrat whom, in their imaginations, they annihilated at a ring blow from’ the mud-gum whose ammunition was furnished by one whose record would.

be unsavory, it the whole truth were known, and who will be better off, politically, if lie can only keep down a controversy or a just exposure of the promises that helped elect him and which he has never fulfilled, and of the charges that he has made to the detriment of many who have been unfortunate enough to have business at the law. The “whereas.” a conglomeration of misrepresentation and political gull, is the put it out of the court house “in less time than it took Guilick to swim Patoka.” They cautiously refused to “whereas” about the comity’s borrowing money, about the painting of the court house, about the using of offices for the benefit of friends of the officials, about allowing men pay for Sundays and for more days in some months than make a month, about the increase of taxes, about there havi’ng been sufficient money paid into the county treasury to have paid every expense and to have paid the entire comity debt, about the rumor that is abroad that the county’s money has, some of it, been handled by parties that were not treasurers, nor. about anything but the poor editor of the' Democrat. It is hard to tell whether the little “whereas”'is a compliment to the editor or a disgrace to the committee. Now, gentlemen, we defy you'. Let us rip open the costly painted walls of the court house, and let the people read in unmistakable terms the handwriting of your doom on its inner walls as well as on its outer. Let no guilty man escape, but investigate it all. Noil a single revolution followed your “whereas,” but many ought to have been the following:

Jiesoh-ed, Thai we favor that courthouse job anil the court house “ri ng V’ ea ltd Ida I es. Jiexoh-ed, That Sam Smith ami Art Hutchens must be beaten as well as Janies Brum Held, (for their woik for the party is naught). and that flonchin must be nominated, and that Jackson Ferguson shall have no ere over his own work but his own, and that life terms in office arc no menace to the public good. This will be in keeping with our actions. And, further, vve must .report that Art Hutchens is using whisky to secure Ids nomination—truth don’t go. In addition to this they might have attended to resolving a little above, local politics, and have said : llemUvtd, That we endorse tiic Dudley blocks of Fives methods, and we oppose, the tree-coinage ot silver,, endorse $52 on the hundred instead of the |47 the people have been paying. 1,'cached, That that court lltouse job was very economical, and the taxpayers should say nothing about it. ltf*olee.d, That we will fill our prot)|ise to McMurruy for Fred Smith's heneflis (No difference about the taxpayers of Washington township.) Jtexotced, That a man may make promises to pay bis debts if lie is elected, never pay a cent, and lire reelected on a renewal u> those promise's. ... Jiesoletd, That I he j1'. M. D. A’s shall get nothing in this convention I but black “eyes,’’ and (bat the Union Labor party shall share likewise. After all this they should have indulged one long and elaborate resol tiat would have W penone a

law, the inter-state law is wrong, the veterans of the Mexican war ought noli to have been pensioned, the contracting of alien labor ought not to have been prevented by law, no law should permit the incorporation ot trade unions, rhe trade dollar should not have been redeemed, American fishermen should not be protected, employment ol com let labor by fed- ! eral officers should not have been prohibited, each state should not he allowed to say for whom its electoral vote shall be cast, no tribunal for trying suits against the government should have been c&tablishdcd instead of letting iliem go into the bauds of tobyi.st*, the tenure of office bill passed by Republicans ought not to have been repealed, and 50,000,000 acrus of land should not have been taken front the railroad corporations to whom tiie Republicans gave it, because all these things were done by Democrats.

According lo the idea of that wise man who wrote the platform for that August 2d convention, the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Uotue and the Institution for the Feeble Minded should never have been' built; the State Normal School and the State University ought not lo have been re-built; the Institutions for the blind aud deaf and dumb should have beeu left in a dilapidated condition and not put' in repair; the Soldiers’ Monument never should have been erected ; the three new Insane Hospitals (they had some nonpartisan mismanagement), should not have been established; the State House should not have been built, nor should anything else ever have been done, although the men who established these things were many of them Republicans. The platform the •‘wise man” wrote is a great piece of Ira vest}, and has no sense tior decency in it. We all want economy : but, like the man that buys a farm, it is sometimes necessary. to borrow money. That “wise man” ought to have said something about the increase of taxes in Pike county; about the increase of taxes by the McKinley bill from $47 to $52 on the $100, instead of a decrease as was proposed by the Mills bill. Aye, but they are in a “close box” who follow their leaders and give their influence blindly to those who want the few to get all that the masses should have —who have made 700 millionaires in less tliau 25 years. Shame be on them. Blaine's declaration that the McKinley bill does not open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork ought to convince the most bigoted Republican farmer j Indiana that the ret his par compelled TcTiruth. But his declaration was the truth and the farmers who vote for Republican candidates this year who stand on platforms endoising the McKinley bill do it with their eyes open, for Mr. Blaine, for once in his life, has told the truth.— Evansville Courier. That rare old Jiirison weed of a farmer, “Bill” Ayers, informs the Courier that the Farmers of this District are to have a grand picnic at Gilbert’s Grave on the 24th instant, and that Farmer Wright, the Republican candidate for Congress, will address the meeting on the subject of the tariff as expounded by McKinley aud the other Republican leaders. As the platform on which the Farmer candidates stand completely ignores the tariff question, it was fouud necessary to give him an opportunity to say whether he is in favpr of Protection and Plutocracy, or Fan Trade and Farmers’ Rights.— Evansville Courier.

It is not good policy or good judgment for those who have always been Democrats to go wandering off to strange gods in the way of new affiliations. With the good, old fashioned Democratic principles honestly and fairly applied, we shall not hear complaints without end from the people because they are overtaxed for the benefit of the favored few. Democrats, stand by the old principles; they are good enough for all. of us. Stand by the old parly and the rights of the people will be preserved. Democracy means all the rights of men embodied in law. IttELAMi consumed more of our wheat last year than all continental Europe. Leaving out the 10,000,000 • bushels bought by England and Scotland, Ireland bought more wheat from us than did all the rest of the world. Our total Wheat exports for the year 1888 w ere 46,000,000 bushels, if which Ireland took 20,000,000bushels, England and Scotland 10,000,000 busliels, and the rest of the world only 16,000,000. If Mr. Blaine could so -twist the lion’s tail” as to shut ofl Ireland from the American farm supply, there would be sueh famine there as has never ret been equalled in its J years of worst dearth. To pay <18 for a plow the foreigner buy* in this country for #9 makes the protect ion whistle come high. And when the Republican farmers reflect that not only plows, hut everything tiny buy from the protected mill owners, cost the same in proportion, while what they have to sell is quoted at the foreign | rice and not at any “protected” American price, theii present admiration for the tarifl “bunko-steerers” will have a severe frost.

| The Democrat fa very muc h shaken up ! t>eeause Jackson Ferguson was nominated ! for auditor. The Democrat knows Uncle ! Jack is a good map and does net see its i way clear to beat him. Jackson Ferguson will be the nest auditor or l*tUe county.— Press. “Shaken up” as an individual taxpayer, just as all other taxpayers ought to be opposed to letting a treasurer become auditor to keep the books, which he has handled for the Iasi four years, under h:is own management. Who knows anything about those books, and who will ever know, if they never pass into other hands ? Newspapers are too often severely criticised for what they print, Did you ever stop to think whether or not newspapers deserve any credit for the many things they refuse to print? if all the sin and folly that comes under our observation almost everyday were put in print, the perpetrators of unsavory crimes and doers of evil deeds would be so crazed, tf they have any self-respect, that their consciences would recoil continually. “Give the devil his dues.” Wst. S, Gkoesbeck, of Cincinnati, looks like the statue of Julius Caesar, lie defended Andrew Johnson in the great trial of the attempt to impoach tiie president. He was Samuel J. Tilden's choice for president, is wealthy'- and rather popular, but strange to say, he has always said that fce would rather enjoy his Cincinnati home Ilian he president of even the United States. Tanner was not in fayor of using the apothecary’s scales in weighing out pensions, and he was deposed. The administration seems to be still in tronble^for Commissioner of Pensions Raum is in the limbo of the same administration; and, though Speaker Kccd is on his side, there will be an investigation of his actions. When Abraham Lincoln became President of the United States the entire revenues of the Government were less than $50,000,000. Now the people arc taxed to raise nine tiroes that amount; and yet this vast revenue is insufficient to quieL the appetite of the robbers who jwetend tiiat their hunger is patriotism

WHUlf it takes six ballots to decide on a candidate, the ring gag sounds a little out of place.—Press. —: It takes just sncli a vote to furnish the “ring” an opportunity. When the people are properly diyided on two candidates it takes but a “ring’s” influence to nominate its pet fii interest in "men who are to be cnIrustod with countv affairs. We shall 'certainly not slap the farmers in the face by making fun of them as our Republican brethren did at their convention. Why should fun lie continually poked at the ycomanrv of the country ? Is it any wonder that the present administration is not a success, when the successful candidates have failed lo keep their promises from the president down to the common congressman and the comity officials? Tiig IIon. Jos&ph Stubblefield, they sav here in town, declares he will not run for Slate Senator unless the g o. p. pays him for his time and talent. He has an eye to business. “Five thousand” is not the price. Who took the editor of the 2Ve*es hv tlie nape of the neck and shook all the indiscretion out of him, and thereby taught him what is meant by life order known as the F. 31. B. Ai Tug general supposition is that the Republicans are out of timber fora candidate for State Senator and will be forced to hire one. Dudley will not have him to pay. *
